James‘ best-selling novel Fifty Shades of Grey is known for the erotic scenes written throughout the pages, but according to actor Jamie Dornan, who plays the billionaire Christian Grey, the film adaption will be a lot less graphic.

In a recent interview with The Guardian, the 32-year-old said he will not be revealing too much of his body, stating, “There were contracts in place that said that viewers wouldn’t be seeing my, um … todger.”

“We confirmed with sources that the studio wasn’t happy with some of the sex scenes because they wanted them to be sexier,” he adds. “So they actually reshot scenes recently in order to make them sexier.”

Fifty Shades of Grey arrives in theaters on February 13. For more on this story, tune into E! News tonight at 7 and 11 p.m.

On her Instagram page on Saturday, the “Drunk in Love” singer — who dropped her self-titled album on the world with no notice last December — posted a clip of a song for the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack … and who knew she was even going to be a part of it?

The song tease is just that. All we can hear is Beyonce breathing heavy as she sings the hook from “Crazy in Love.” Along with the song, the video explains, “This Thursday, the worldwide phenomenon comes to life.”

So does “Crazy in Love” get a remix for Fifty Shades of Grey or is it an entirely new Beyonce song? Looks like we’ll find out on Thursday!

Fifty Shades of Grey, which stars Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson, is set to hit theaters on February 13, 2015.

Jamie Dornan, who replaced Charlie Hunnam last month, and Dakota Johnson pose as the infamous couple on the cover of Entertainment Weekly … and of course, Christian is gripping the tie that adorns the book’s cover.

In the interview with the magazine, Jamie opens up about the 1:30 a.m. life-changing phone call that he had been cast. “I was sort of pretending I wasn’t waiting, but the phone was in my hand, halfway to my ear … There was a slight fear. But beyond anything else, I was really f**king excited.”

His Anastasia also jokes about how she was forced to workout due to all the nudity in the script, but it ended up not being as bad she thought. “Obviously, I want to look good naked,” says Dakota. “I totally understand now why people exercise, because it kind of f**king feels awesome.”

Filming is set to begin on December 2 in Vancouver, but fans will have to wait until Valentine’s Day 2015 before Fifty Shades of Grey will be released in theaters.

AfterCharlie Hunnam dropped out of the film, Jamie Dornan has reportedly been cast in the lead role.

While Anastasia Steele’s character has been fulfilled by Daktota Johnsonsince early September, Christian Grey’s character has been under much scrutiny as of late. But on Wednesday, it was announced that the Once Upon a Timestarwould be taking Charlie’s place. Universal and Focus are currently drafting a contract for Jamie to formally accept the role, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

To properly introduce you to the “new” Christian Grey, we’ve pulled together 5 facts that will make you fall in love with Jamie.

1. He can sing!

Who doesn’t love a man who can sing? Jamie and his friends started a folk band called Sons of Jim,which toured with KT Tunstall. Sadly, the band broke up in 2008 — but not to worry, we can still listen to his music on repeat:

3. He plays rugby

Ever since he was a teen, Jamie has excelled at rugby, the British version of football, which involves him wrestling around for a ball. (No wonder he’s in such good shape.) Although he was a great athlete, Jamie gave up the sport for drama school.

4. He’s a daddy-to-be

5. He’s Irish … and Has a Dreamy Accent

Have you fallen in love yet?

Fans are eagerly awaiting the August 2014 release of Fifty Shades of Grey,inspired by E.L. James’ best-selling book. The movie is currently in pre-production, but director Sam Taylor-Johnson hopes to begin filming this November.

And considering the cast has been together for five seasons now, the Russian-born actress admits she did feel a bit awkward her first day on the set.

“I was a little bit nervous when I just got on set you know?” Olga tells us. “I had to be like the new kid on the block, but the minute I set my foot on that set everybody was so wonderful and so welcoming that they made me very, very comfortable and I feel part of the family.”

And now that she’s in with The Vampire Diaries family, has Olga heard anything about Ian Somerhalder possibly taking on the now infamous 50 Shades of Grey role now that Charlie Hunnam has dropped out?

Olga admits she hasn’t heard anything, but she personally thinks he’d be perfect for the role.

We couldn’t agree more!

Catch The Vampire Diarieson The CW tonight at 8/7c.

James’ 50 Shades of Grey.

However, it appears as though 50 Shades fans aren’t pleased with the news. A fan-based cyber petition started this week, begging producers to recast the film. Apparently, 50 Shades readers have already filled the roles of Mr. Grey and Miss Steele in their minds… with Matt Bomer and Alexis Bledel.

According to Entertainment Tonight, the White Collar star appreciates his fans’ gesture, but is “looking forward to seeing the film with Charlie and Dakota.” Alexis is also flattered, but will most likely enjoy the film from afar. The Gilmore Girlsstar did mention that she thinks the frenzy started on YouTube, where fans created several mock teaser trailers starring herself and Matt.

While we LOVE Matt and Alexis, we think Charlie and Dakota have serious potential with these roles!

Author E.L. Jameshas released the names of the actors who’ve agreed to star in the cinematic rendition of 2012’s best-selling novel, 50 Shades of Grey. Drum roll, please…

Sons of Anarchy star Charlie Hunnam will play the impassioned billionaire, Christian Grey. At his side (and in his bed…), Ben and Katestar Dakota Johnson will play Christian’s love interest, Anastasia Steele.

I am delighted to let you know that the lovely Dakota Johnson has agreed to be our Anastasia in the film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey.

Director Sam Taylor-Johnson and screenwriter Kelly Marcel are working together to create an unforgettable film, matching the novel’s wildly popular success. The film adaptation of 50 Shades of Grey is currently in pre-production, but it is scheduled for release on August 1, 2014.
